A new special web
has been published containing the liner notes of all the songs for
"TAPESTRY OF SONGS -THE BEST OF ANGELA AKI-", including the songs in the
limited edition second CD. Here we can read the liner notes of two
songs included in the first CD that weren't published before, because
they can't publish the video, "Kiss Me Good-Bye" or because there's not
any video, "I Have a Dream", so like the other, here you have that liner
note translated and the video of the first performance at "Washington National Gallery" of it!

#15 I Have a Dream

"Since this song was going to
be used for the "Washington National Gallery" exposition (bringing
impressionist and post-impressionist works from Washington National
Gallery in 2011) I wanted to use the words Martin Luther King said in
Washington, "I have a dream", and get inspiration from them to write the
lyrics. I thought about where do broken dreams not yet come true go,
and that maybe if you call them out loud they'll be back. Part of this
message is also expressed towards myself."

#14 Kiss Me Good-bye

'"Final Fantasy XII" theme
song composed by Nobuo Uematsu, a great videogame composer. I only had
to write lyrics to sing this song since the melody was given to me. I
wanted to express through the lyrics that if you love the right person
you don't have to regret it even saying goodbye.'

A new music video for the song "Tegami ~Haikei Jyugo no Kimi he~" has been recorded and published for the best of Angela. This video shows different people sharing their dreams and writing a short letter to themselves in ten years. Some of the people in the video are actually recognized professionals in their fields, like the runner Oosako Suguro, the comedy duo Westland, and the free announcer and Angie's personal friend Nakano Minako. The theme of the video is showing us how we are all in the middle of making our dreams come true.The video ends with Angie letting us know what her dream is now after having become a singer-songwriter and fulfilling her first dream.

In the special website
for Angie's first best album they're publishing the videos for each
song in the album and the liner notes of each song. Since those videos
are only for Japanese IP's, I'm going to publish them here from the MKI
account so everyone can watch them, and I'm going to translate the
liner notes.

#13 Yume no Owari Ai no Hajimari

'The
thing about a singer I love, Ani DiFranco (American singersongwriter),
is that after listening to any of her songs 2 or 3 times there's some
smart line that gets stuck in your head. I wanted to have a sentence
like that, so I put a fighting spirit into this song. "Once could be
chance, but meeting again must be fate" or "the passion grew stronger
soon, but love became deeper little by little" are that kind of line
made in my own style.'

#12 Kokuhaku

'I thought it would be weird
to express the feeling of saying "I love you" until it reaches the other
person's ear, it would come floating like in the sentence "the
confession continues through your neck, it slides into your ear". From
there I kept on writing the rest, and since the lyrics are fun I thought
the music should be fun too so it's got a more electronic arrangement.'
